And what a week it’s been!  Easter weekend was just glorious.  The only difficult part was that Brennen had to work double shifts Saturday and Sunday and so we barely saw him.  But that’s the norm we’ve become accustomed to with this new job.  They had him working over 40 hours a week.  I don’t know how that’s legal for a high school senior, but he loves the job and the pay is so much better.  He’s waiting tables and making real tips.

Then our blissful weekend ended in shock as we found out that a threat of mass violence had been made to an unspecified school in North San Antonio for Thursday, April 24.  I kept thinking it was a twisted hoax and they’d quickly find the responsible person. Unfortunately, the week went on, no arrests were made, the FBI was brought in and parents all over the city began to question whether they’d send their children to school on Thursday: us included.
